Pros

Pay can be very rewarding hourly and a good manager could make everything run smoothly

Cons

Clients aren't reliable and directly affect your pay. Management and hourly staff are on 2 completely different levels - went through 5 managers in 2 months

Pros

You have a free membership. This is literally it. It didn't take 20 words to sum up the pros, but the system has a minimum requirement.

Cons

1. Very long hours with little pay or you'll expect more than you are getting bc of lies to push production. 2. Expect to be belittled and discriminated against by managment and customer w/o any ramifications. 3. Upper management expects subordinates to "fix" all of their problems and give you little to no credit. 4. Expect to work non stop. LITERALLY. 5. "Homework", scripts, setting up corporate accounts, generating your own leads, and meetings. 6. Basically sell 2,000 in their supplements by overcharging clients and lying to them, 70 memberships a month, and 6,000 a month in personal training and your job will be safe. 7. Raises are not given unless someone is fired, quits, or is deceased. This is not a joke. Employees go years with no annual review at all. If you ask for a raise the answer is no. Even when you present your value and worth to the company. 8. No 401k, even for managers. It's a dead end job. My advice is to never ever spend your money. Save it. 9. I could go on and on. If you want more just check Yelp. Not everything you read is true, but you can tell what's not legit or exaggerated.
